Hi Alexander,

In http://unbound.net/downloads/unbound-0.9-20080115.tar.gz
you can find a snapsnot from dev trunk with the option called
	interface-automatic: yes
It is tested and works on (recent)FreeBSD, linux, Solaris, and MacOSX.

Note that this is a snapshot from trunk since the changes are
substantial, and required lots of porting effort. Please consider that
this version has access-control, and you will need to configure access
control (only localhost enabled by default). It also has AS112 blocking,
which may be nice for you, and limited authority support. Please ignore
the unbound-as-a-library development code in there, it is not done.

Can you try this Alexander? Tell me if it works or not :-)

Best regards,
~   Wouter
